I love Hirohiko Araki. That is all.

asdfghjkl; THE FLASH kill it with fire.

While this is a cool concept, I don't think those manga-ka actually drew those pics. Any one of the people involved have more skill than their supposed final product on that site, even Konomi, and the captions say "in the style of [manga-ka]", not "by [manga-ka]" (though that could be semantically misleading). It doesn't help that the dude doesn't link to his source.

I replied wankily! :|

It is okay! I would not be surprised if they were drawn by the assistants; the majority of video game news blogs are not known for their fact-checking. I should have been more circumspect but was blinded by Steel Ball Run-esque Kefka.

No, judging from the lines it's probably one person they hired to do them all. It's not that the manga-ka were cheating by making their assistants do it, it's that these were parodies, and never meant to be seen as drawn by the manga-ka.

The lack of sources in these kinds of "haha I'm so cool for bringing you news from Japan" sites bugs the hell out of me. Sorry. D:
